Alabama rising junior running back Kenyan Drake was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with one misdemeanor count of obstructing governmental operations.

"While investigators were working on the crime scene Kenyan Adam Drake told officers his vehicle was parked inside the crime scene and he wanted to get his vehicle. Officers told him he would not be able to get his vehicle until the scene was released by Tuscaloosa County Homicide. Drake became upset and went through the crime scene tape and entered the crime scene after being told not to by officers. Officers immediately took the suspect into custody and charged him with Obstructing Governmental Operations."

Yeah, I saw this. Bullshit charge. Unless he committed a crime or his car was involved in the crime, he should have been allowed to get his car. Just because the cops felt like taping off half of Tuscaloosa, this young man's life is ruined.

Possibly. Sounds like he's been in Saban's doghouse before, too.

I agree about the charge, but he should have never defied their orders to begin with.

Not sure it's a BS charge. Looks like they taped off an area for investigation, told him his car wasn't released and he ignored all that and forced his way through. They were investigating a shooting, not a traffic stop. A little patience and he wouldn't have to deal with this now.

So entering an active crime scene against direct police orders is perfectly acceptable when you're sober, but not if you've had some drinks... makes sense, bro.

What do you need to drive your car for if you are drunk?

If this happens in the middle of the day at restaurant you stopped for lunch, and you have to get back to work because you are expected to make a presentation and you need your car so you won't be late for your JOB than you have an argument. If you just want your car because you are tired and had a few too many drinks and want to drive home drunk so you can get some sleep that is entirely another story.

If the POPO says this is a crime scene, you can't enter it until we're done processing, then that is what it is and you need to follow police orders. The police didn't just say "hey, theres that Kenyan Drake guy, lets give him a hard time."

It seems like he broke the law and will now have his time in court to defend himself.

This charge will have little or no impact on his life or even college football. Saban may question his judgment in the future though.

If you ask me, it was pretty stupid to think he could get his car when there was a marked off crime scene and his car would be part of the evidence. The law is the law. If he had some kind of special place to go, he could have called a friend, cab or a coach and then explained why he was late.
